It was the virus that attacked computers across the world last week- shutting down programs, deleting files and wrecking havoc across the globe.
Now International investigators have
arrested a 27-year old man in the Philipines- and another arrest may be on the way.

(( It's a poor Manila neighborhood where most don't even have ACCESS
to a computer. Yet authorities believe THIS is where the world's most
devastating cyber-virus may have been born.

Early this morning -- about two dozen plainclothes police
officers raided the 2-bedroom flat -- and as fortune would have it --
one of the suspects walked right into their hands.

The 27 year old bank worker seemed confused -- and more than axious
to hold onto his cell phone while being arrested.

He was trying to call his 23 year old girlfriend -- identified as
Irene de Guzman-- the woman authorites say is the REAL "Love Bug"
author. She has promised to turn herself in. But her neighbors say the
couple is innocent.
(SOT/NEIGHBOR)
"I don't think they have the capacity to be involved in this kind of
thing."
(COWAN ON CAM:14:52:25)

"And some law enforcement authorites are questioning the same thing.
Their three hour search turned up everything from phone lines to
computer magazines, but no computer itself."
(NARR:)

That hard drive could reveal whether the "LoveBug" virus is really
theirs. It circuled the globe last week, crippling some 45 million
computers in at least 20 countries --causing as much as 10 billion
dollars in damage -- the worst ever.

But the investigation was stalled over the weekend while police
waited for a search warrant from a Phillipine judge -- frustrating US
authorites who now fear evidence may have been destroyed.
(SOT/RAMONE GARCIA, FBI 13:04:33)
"We're working very closely with authorities in the Phillipines
regarding this matter, but it is an ongoing matter and not at libery to
comment beyond that."
NARR:
So far, this couple is as close to a smoking gun as they've found.

But instead of trying to steal home on the field, he may have walked
away from his homeland.

the terminal.

Chaoui was considered the most flamboyant member of the team. He had

but the Americans say they had no idea he had plans to defect.
St. Thomas officials say the INS had warned the school this could
happen. They just hope hes safe.
